Legend Connected In China At The Highest Levels Says Basel III Is Fueling Massive Central Bank Gold Buying

Today a legend who is connected in China at the highest levels told King World News that Basel III is fueling massive central bank gold buying.

Russia & China Buy As Gold Market Raids Continue
April 24 (King World News) – John Ing:  "Gold is hitting some important technical levels after being hit in the last ten days by two dumps of 11,000 contracts on the downside.  That has taken the steam out of a rally that I believe was going to test that $1,325 level…

Insiders Buying
Meanwhile, Russia and China have been buying gold.  In fact, China has been buying gold four months in a row.  So there has been this continued physical offtake, and this decline in the price of gold has nothing to do with fundamentals.  And you see the continued merger and acquisition activity in the gold mining sector, which included Newmont and Barrick making peace by setting up a joint venture in Nevada.  So when you see central bank buying — they are the biggest insiders — and then you see the gold industry themselves buying each other, that's telling me that prices today are very attractive.

Large Investors Also Buying
And, Eric, when I talk to large investors, they have not been selling.  In fact, they have been buying on these pullbacks in the high-quality names in the mining sector.  Rob McEwen has been talking about how attractive the valuations are in the mining sector right now, so that tells you how undervalued the space is at this time."

Eric King:  "What about all of this central bank buying of gold that you mentioned?"

John Ing:  "China is the largest producer of gold in the world and yet they keep importing gold.  On top of that the world is facing peak gold production, where production will be declining dramatically for many years to come.  And countries are watching the dollar constantly being debased, which is why China, Russia, and many other countries continue to buy gold…

Russia has dumped US Treasuries and they have now become the 5th largest holder of gold in the world.  China is following suit, becoming the 6th largest holder of gold in the world.  This is after four consecutive months of buying.  Every month China seems to be buying significant quantities of gold in London.  And we know that the Shanghai Gold Exchange is the largest physical gold market in the world.  So China is well on its way to rivaling the United States with its 8,000 tonnes of gold.

Basel III Fueling Massive Central Bank Gold Purchases
And of course with Basel III, which was just enacted, gold can now be margined at 100%.  This will serve to continue to drive physical demand for gold by central banks.  This central bank buying is not only very real, it's very aggressive.  It's the highest pace of buying in 50 years, since the US essentially went off the gold standard."

Another Paradox: Consumer Spending Expectations Surge, Despite Dismal Income, Earnings

Call it the latest economic paradox. Despite widespread stories of doom and gloom about the state of US consumer finances once the fiscal stimulus bill expires on Dec 31, the latest NY Fed survey of consumer expectations unexpectedly shows that US consumers have little intention of slowing down their spending. In fact, and very paradoxically,  despite depressed and flat income and earnings growth expectations,  with median one-year ahead expected earnings growth at 2.0% for fifth consecutive month and expected income growth barely little changed at 2.14% ... ...  consumers' 1-year ahead  spending growth expectations  jumped to 3.73% over the next 12 months in November  - the highest level in more than four years, not only up from the 3.06% in the previous month but a whopping 33% more than the 2.8% reported last November,  making this the biggest Y/Y increase in expected spending in series history. This bizarre increase took place even as labor market signals were mixed: although t...

China Exports, Imports Fall Sequentially, Adding To Slowdown Fears

China's exports rose 19.3% y/y in July, missing the median consensus expectation of 20% (ranging from 15.4% to 30.7%), and declining sequentially -0.3% in July after rising +5.7% in June. Imports also rose less than expected, up 28.1% Y/Y in July, below the 33.3% median expectation, and fell 6.4% sequentially after surging +11.3% M/M in June. As a result this disproportional slowdown in imports vs exports, China's monthly trade surplus actually rose to $56.6bn in July, slightly better than the $53.3BN consensus, and up from $51.5BN in June due to the bigger miss in imports. ASEAN was China's biggest trading partner in July, followed by the Europe Union and the U.S., customs data showed. China's exports to the US grew 13.4% in July from a year ago, while imports from America rose 25.6%, leaving a trade surplus of $35.4 billion in the month. Some more details: By geography:  Export growth slowed across major export destinations, and exports to major DMs continued to be a ...
